About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Most Magical Time of the Year 8 - anything Christmas or Halloween

 Most Magical Time of the Year 8 - anything Christmas or Halloween
https://mostmagicaltimeoftheyear.blogspot.com/

I was lucky to be chosen second place winner for challenge 6 and was invited to be a guest designer for challenge 8.

I have made a clean and simple card
I used two papers and coloured elements from Digital Scrapbooking Studio Joy to the world.  We are 3 sentiment from Seasonal Wishes sentiment set.

I hope you will go over later and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge,

I would like to add my card to the following:
